Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing job that operates twisting machines to twist raw yarn together and mass-produce high-quality yarn.
Description
Throwing workers (twisted yarn manufacturing) use twisting machines to apply the necessary twist to raw yarn, producing yarn with uniform quality and strength. Operators set the raw yarn into the machine, adjust twist count, tension, and speed, and inspect yarn thickness and twist unevenness visually or with measuring instruments. If there are defects, they perform fine adjustments or maintenance on the machine and create the required production records. They also handle periodic machine inspections, simple repairs, and safety and health management.
